That was a bigtime triple by Johnson.
Way too many easy buckets on the other end though. Sigh. -
1-9 from 3 from Wilcox. He's a really streaky shooter. I remember when he came in Romar touted him as one of the best shooters he has ever seen. He can get hot, but he's not consistent enough to be a great shooter.

1. I had no idea there was a game thread on this forum lol
2. Kemp is a bitch. No defense, doesn't rebound. Whines and pouts.
3. Not to be too doogish, but officiating has been one-sided...but doesn't excuse losing..
4. Every IND offensive possession will end in a score or a foul. Every fucking time..
5. NWG isn't Gaddy, not by a longshot. Gaddy always had that 'I just got kicked in the balls' look about him, and it showed in his play. At least NWG plays fearless and heady. -
I would love to see Johnson take a starting spot from Andrews.
-
81 points at the 7:49 mark. The defense is so. fucking. bad.

People hated Gaddy so much that they couldn't see how bad Andrews was. Now that Gaddy's gone Andrews doesn't have that buffer anymore.

So I just turned it on to watch the last 5 minutes...
Ha. Ha.... Ha... -
Totally agree on Kemp. He has some talent but just doesn't have the killer instinct to tap into it. Too bad he didn't have a father...Gladstone said:1. I had no idea there was a game thread on this forum lol

Officiating has been bad. Our defense has been worse.
Goss is legit. Not a great shooter and he makes some frosh mistakes, but he can play.
-
Kemp can have a seat and keep it for the rest of the year. Yikes.

I used to constantly post the same thing on doogman. Andrews shot 36% and 27% from 3. He was about as inefficient as a player can be. Gaddy was way better, but the hatred for Gaddy was so strong, nobody saw just how bad Andrews was because he played with more fire and wasn't passive. I will take passive over throwing up terrible shots and playing out of control.dnc said:

0 pts/5 fouls.
Sit down. -
Will Romar press? Or was that Camoron's Defense
-
Romar hasn't pressed since 2005. From 2007-2011 he let Venoy press by himself (and it had a wondrous effect) but as a team we haven't done it in so fucking long. I doubt Romar even knows how to coach it.
-
Can't wait to hear what spado and moosewhosails have to say about this one. My predictions:
- Indiana is an experienced, tournament tested team. You can't expect to beat such a veteran team this early in the year.
- Jarreau would have changed everything defensively. The significance of losing him can't be overstated.
- Simmons would have fixed the rebounding. Losing them both together just isn't fair.
- Romar did a great job keeping his guys in it with such a thin roster. Wait until Simmons gets back!
What did I miss? -
My biggest complaint with most of those teams. The Overton, IT, Holiday teams were built to press.Gladstone said:Romar hasn't pressed since 2005.

Losing JJ was huge. I was excited to see if he progressed at all this year. This teams offense is a lot more fun to watch than previous seasons. A lot less erratic play and better more meaningful ball movement.
That rebounding and defense is atrocious though. I am not going to harp on Romar as much as I usually do because losing both JJ and Simmons changes things entirely. Did Desmond get hurt recently or months ago? Romar might be trying to figure it out on the go.
Get this Dieirerssckx guy out of here. -
I said this shit on Doogman, and fuck you Kim! Goss reminds me of Jason Kid coming out of high school. Lots of tear drops in the lane, can get his shot off on anyone, great vision, and point a to point b ball skills

we should be ashamed for using Joe Wolfinger's name in the same sentence as this loser. He's more of a Breunig -
That's probably the best comparison I've seen for him yet. His defense is nothing compared to Kidd's, but his jumper is probably a bit better. His passing has a ways to go to catch up to Kidd's, obviously.NeGgaPlEaSe said:I said this shit on Doogman, and fuck you Kim! Goss reminds me of Jason Kid coming out of high school.

Not a perfect comp, but my favorite one I've seen for him. Well done.

I quit doogman by February, but I remember you saying that while Gaddy was a disappointment, he was not quite as bad as many made him out to be, and the ones calling for Andrews to be the starting PG were wrong.dnc said:

At least Breunig was good for a pretty breakaway dunk now and then. Gilles' only value is appeasing the PLSS/death2ducks portion of the fanbase.dhdawg said:this is dierickx's season avg's this season.

Too little too late, but I like seeing the energy right now. They're not quitting, even though the game's long been over. That's better than the alternative, I guess.
-
I am actually really excited to have NWG and Johnson. At a minimum, they will each be here three years, very likely all four. I think those guys will be dangerous as soon as next year. Our future backcourt looks good. Like DNC said, if Upshaw can be a good defensive center, we have a shot to be a good team in a few years.
I don't see it this year, although I enjoy watching this year's team more than last years. It's too bad about Jarreau because I would have liked to see if we could pencil him in as another legit player for next season. -
I was in the same boat. I by no means loved Gaddy's game but doogman always needs to have a scapegoat and can never be the guy making millions per year. Those people are so fucking stupid. Last year was my favorite... we were going to be better because the team liked each other more, even though we lost 2 1st rounders. This year it was we're going to be better because we don't have Gaddy and Aziz. While both were maddening, Gaddy wouldn't be the scapegoat if we had better players. Doogs gotta doog.RoadDawg55 said:

Currently being outrebounded 47-23. Rebounding was always the one thing you could count on from a Romar team.
-
I would take Aziz over Blackwell. Aziz's defense and rebounding > Blackwell's offensive game.

Can this game just end?
